Second SiteNews

Second Site is the best way to publish your TMG data in HTML format. It has more features and provides more control than any GEDCOM-based method. If you are serious about publishing your TMG data on the Web, or if you are sharing your data with family members on custom CDs, you need Second Site!

Second Site is also a great tool to review your dataset. It is fast, and the HTML format makes the data easy to browse. Many users have reported that it has helped them to find inconsistencies in their data and other problems.

Are you afraid that you don't have what it takes to get a site published? Combine Second Site with Family History Hosting (FHH), a web hosting service designed for genealogists. Second Site includes a special one-step publish feature for use by FHH customers. As part of the FHH service, I'll help you register a domain, fine-tune your site, and publish the first version of your site. Second Site and FHH can help you get from offline to online!

Quick! How Do I Make A Site?

Second Site supports hundreds of options. First-time users can safely ignore almost all of them. After you get comfortable with the program, browse around the user interface, and experiment. International users should read the International Sites page.
